This is the nineth of a serie of units for Kriegsmarine, reworked in collaboration with flush deck.

Based on GWX Development Team's Scharnhorst battleship, 3d model updated using SHV Scharnhorst's parts and a lot of details (oblos, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning radars\rangefinders...).

If you've also LBSArado in your Data\German\Air\Roster, you can add scout planes to this battleship adding those lines

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19390429
EndDate=19450323
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1

to NBB_Gneisenau.cfg;

Note, as for Bismarck and Tirpitz, differences between Scharnhorst and Gneisenau have been implemented, you can see different masts position, hangar shape, A\A weapon configurations...

Beautiful, VD!!!
Thank you very much!


:yeah::salute::up:

Gneis work, VonDos. :D

VD:
Sorry for asking this until now but I have a doubt...
When you add these lines in order to have the search plane in most of your German ships..


[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19390429
EndDate=19450323
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1


Are they meant to be in the.cfg file in the Roster folder or in the Sea folder? :hmmm:
Thanks for your help! :salute:

@Everyone, a great thank you!!

@CapZap1970, the one in the Sea folder. I'm out now, but If I well remember the names are lightly different (something like NBB_Gneisenau VS NBBGneisenau (but i could be wrong) =)

Best regards, Vd

Thanks a lot for the reply, VD!
I had the doubt and always forgot to ask... :doh:
I know I must copy that block from the readme attached in every ship you publish to avoid confusions with the names...


Once again, fantastic job! :yeah:

You're welcome :salute:


Thank you so much, glad you like her :up:
More are coming!

Best regards,
Vd

Rly nice with Bismarck camo and all!

Again thanks! I really hope to find your ships once in a campaign. Maybe I should switch side and torp one of your ships from a British submarine. But who knows what your next ship will be. HMS Hood? :Kaleun_Cheers:
